Induction: The non art of making conclusions, but only when all the facts are in; or making hypotheses, but only if no facts can ever be found; or making untestable conclusions from non-facts. Induction is common in the fields of accounting and psychology, and inductive methods like audit and opinion polls are critical for these disciplines, and are necessary for accountants and psychologists to secure gainful and infinite employment and publication until our sun explodes. (see also deduction, Steven Pinker)
